In January of 2008, Jackie, Elisa, Lisa and I left a movie theater after watching National Treasure 2. The girls loved it so much I spent the next three months designing Nordmeyer Treasure. It was a big hit. They both said they would love to do another, but I told them it would probably be a few years before it happened.
Apparently I am a big liar.
This January, I started thinking about how much fun I had putting it all together. Ideas started coming to me, and I found myself consumed over the next 4 months, and the result is here: Nordmeyer Treasure 2!
Ok, so I didn't spend enough time being creative with the title. But the girls have a new array of puzzles and clues to go after. This time they will find themselves hunting clues in different states as well as around Beavercreek. They will also find that they will get no hints from Lisa or me. Not even if they bribe us (M&Ms worked well last year). We will drive them around, but they will be dependant on friends and family for help with puzzles.
For anyone interested, you can track their progress and attempt to solve the puzzles here.
